What do you prefer using?
It'd be great if you included in a post why you choose The choice you did, but you don't have too.. :p I prefer Torrent's and Direct Downloads Simply because, you can pause and resume downloads. With most filehosting sites, you need premium for that. And, personally, ftp's are just to slow for me.

Well...
Direct downloads are quick and easy - which is normally what i'm looking for.   But like Alex said, there are alot of torrents about, but more often then not these take a long time to download.

I prefer direct downloads because its quick,easy,no waiting,and can use a download manager with minimal conflicts.
I used to torrent a lot of my anime, but since im used to irc i use that more.  Plus its way faster than the use of torrents and a lot of the torrents of things i want to get are dead |

I like both FTP's and Direct Downloads..I like Direct downloads over FTP's because you usually get faster speeds..unless of course the FTP is good then i prefer FTP. I only use torrents if I can't find it on any of the others lol...torrents is like my last resort

Hmm....I prefer torrents over file hosting sites, but normally go with file hosting sites. I don't know why, but torrents take a while for me to download, and I hardly find any torrents with many seeders.
